Overview
- The crash killed three serving Station House Officers — Sajan Kumar Paswan (Ratwara), Gyanendra Amarendra (Arar) and Neeraj Kumar (Belari) — and their private driver when their SUV struck a truck on National Highway 31 near Sahebpur Kamal in Begusarai.
- The officers were returning to Madhepura after a one‑day training in Patna when the collision occurred late on Friday night, and witnesses and police say the car appeared to be travelling at very high speed, with reports citing speeds above 100 km/h.
- Rescue teams spent an extended time extricating occupants from the mangled SUV, the four bodies were taken to Begusarai Sadar Hospital for postmortem, and police have seized both the SUV and the truck as part of the inquiry.
- Begusarai police have opened a formal probe to determine the exact sequence of events and are examining the truck's position, road visibility and conditions and vehicle speed as key lines of investigation.
- The simultaneous deaths are a heavy blow to the Madhepura police cadre, have prompted visits from senior officials and condolences from Bihar leaders, and could lead to administrative reviews of officer travel and road‑safety measures.
